Good Morning, I too, use Chris Tovani's piece called "The House" to give a concrete example about setting a purpose for reading. The only difference I have implemented is to divide the class in half after the first reading, so that half are reading the piece from the perspective of a burgler and the other half of the class is reading the piece from the perspective of a real estate agent. It is a very powerful lesson and kids (and staff I have used it with in training) really enjoy it! Karen
